If the Crown Fits by Leané Giliomee is the first book in the Twisted Crown Trilogy. The story revolves around Lara, an elusive bandit raised in a clan of thieves in the kingdom of Everness. Lara makes the mistake of stealing from the tyrannical royal family and gets caught. She is then blackmailed into retrieving a stolen heirloom from the crown prince of an enemy kingdom by posing as his betrothed, a princess of Everness he has yet to meet.
This story sits firmly in the fantasy category and if you’re a fan of books by Holly Black I think this will be right up your alley..
As Lara navigates her dangerous mission, she is bound by a secret and driven by a desperate need to protect those she loves most. Her path to freedom is filled with treachery, complexity, and an infuriating prince.
The plot is rich with themes of forbidden romance, villainous royalty, and a deadly power struggle. It features tropes including enemies to lovers, found family, slow burn romance, fake relationship, and forced proximity.
The plot twist is so obvious you almost discount it, And I can quite work out if thats a good or bad thing.
